The Cross will not crush you; if its weight makes you stagger, its power will also sustain you.

The Mother of Sorrows is my confidante, my teacher, my counselor, and my powerful advocate.

Ahead! Courage! In the spiritual life he who does not advance goes backward. It happens as with a boat which always must go ahead. If it stands still the wind will blow it back.

The Church is the house of God. It is forbidden for men to enter with bare arms or in shorts. It is forbidden for women to enter in trousers, without a veil on their head, in short clothing, low necklines, sleeveless or immodest dresses.
